Jazz for aficionados
Steve Kahn is a name I've heard before; I'm sure he's on some of my records, not classic jazz for sure. Tablejockey, when I hear a relatively new name that sounds interesting, I like to follow it up and see what else he has that we might like. When we do this as a team, we get quick results. If you have any thoughts on how we can increase our collections of the best jazz available, don't hesitate to chime in. Enjoy the music. |
frogman-Steve Kahn is one of those guys like Larry Carlton who played on a ton of albums. One of those musicians who came up as straight ahead was going in many different directions. Killer guitar player. O-Heres a dude you may be familiar with. He was just a few years younger than Wes. His playing was considered maybe a little "out of the box"even though he was a true "straight ahead" player. This guy was part of that elite group in the 50-60's "wrecking crew" Howard Roberts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Roberts "Howard Roberts is a Dirty Guitar Player" is another essential guitar album. I believe George Benson mentions him as one of his personal likes. Listening to the music, its straight ahead, but with tinges of...? I played my minty '63 mono copy along with dinner. Cool stuff. Im imagining guys in a cool shark skin suits, gals in tight dresses hangin in some smokey club. |
Tablejockey, the name didn't ring a bell, but I like what I'm hearing on this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlb54WO_PhA&t=22s I just down loaded an LP that's only on LP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kxuAZictJ4 https://www.amazon.com/Rubaiyat-Dorothy-Ashby-DOROTHY-ASHBY/dp/B012INFJ6G Enjoy the music. |
orpheus10- Howard is one of those guys many have heard, but not aware of. As Wiki mentions, he did so many of those show music themes in the 60-70's along with the wrecking crew stuff. Interesting you linked Dorothy Ashby. On a recommendation by my local record store a few years ago,I purchased that album. Its got a new age vibe to it, maybe ahead of its time. I've listened to it a few times, but haven't connected with the music. Time to revisit. |
We have mentioned H.R. couple of times, but its nothing wrong to do it one more time, maybe somebody will search for his music after reading that and I am very glad that now here are more people writing about jazz music they like Here is another guy, that nobody has mentioned before. Clifford Scott, sax player, recorded only few jazz albums This one is from 1963. where he played alto and tenor. He was backed by Les McCann on piano, Joe Pass on guitar, Herbie Lewis on bass and Paul Humphrey on drums. https://youtu.be/Fnhxt8IJEAQ |
